Bob Barton Road construction completing this week
TWIN FALLS - Reconstruction of Bob Barton Road west of Jerome should be complete and the route reopened to traffic as soon as Wednesday (June 23), the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) announced.
Traffic will be restored on the road (also known as 200 South) from Lincoln Avenue/Golf Course Road to 400 West as soon as construction crews finish shoulder grading, bank stabilization and fence installation.
Construction was unexpectedly slowed because of wet soil and unfavorable weather. The $2.75 million reconstruction project included utility relocation and replacement of several irrigation crossings.
ITD is administering the project for the Jerome Highway District. Western Construction of Boise was the contractor.
